Why You must have this Book:

It teaches you, How to es mate electrical construc on projects, including everyday labor installa on rates.
The contents of this book have been designed in such a way that electrical instructors, electricians, electrical engineers,
architects, blueprint readers, etc. can draw some benefit from it, even if only for reference material. Those individuals
who have some electrical experience and want to advance themselves into the electrical es mators’ circle should study
the material contained herein.
The en re format has been designed with the beginner as well as the seasoned es mator and others in mind.
step-by-step instruc ons on how to:

1. Interpret construc on plans and specifica ons,

2. What to look for,
3. And why you should read all of the specifica
ons, even those for the roofing, woodwork, wall construc on materials,
plumbing, etc. Many mes there will be items in these categories of the specifica ons that impact an electrical contractor’s
bidding price.
Par al plans of a typical office building are included to show the u li es coming into the building the site ligh ng, interior
ligh ng, panels and power distribu on devices, safety and communica on devices, mechanical equipment, and electrical
services to properly depict the various electrical materials in place.
Rough takeoff sheets have been developed for all of the electrical materials shown on the par al plans and associated
materials required for a complete installa on.
This book will show you how to transfer all of the materials shown on the rough takeoff sheets to es ma ng sheets for
inser ng prices and labor hours. The next step shown is to total all of the labor (material is not priced here due to each
contractor’s specific pricing structure) and transfer the hours to a final recapitula on sheet. This final recapitula on sheet
will include all pricing, labor hours, nonproduc ve labor, job expenses, hourly labor rates, overhead, and profit.
 Following the job es mate, there is a sec on on actual labor rates for thousands of items of materials and installa ons.
These have been me-tested in the field and applied by many contractors whom I consulted for in the past (see “About
the Author”).
A complete sample es mate has been included here to show exactly how a professional es mate is formulated. Although
the prices of the individual materials are not shown on the es mate pricing sheets, there have been allowances inserted
on the final recapitula on sheet so that you can go through this sheet from beginning to final bidding price.
At the end of this book there is a miscellaneous sec on of formulas, charts, schema cs, conversions, ligh ng levels for
most common places, and blank es ma ng and related business forms.
